Just finished work on my OT 33959-17. She's a beauty, certainly more so than she was when I started November of 2013. This year she'll celebrate her 100th birthday back on the water where she belongs.
IF, that is, I can get her up on top of my Subaru wagon. She's a little longer and a little heavier than my 15' Kennebec. Of course, when I have a canoeing buddy to help, there's no big problem. But I want to figure out a good way to ease her up there, and get her back down again, by myself. And without damaging the canoe, my car, or my back. And I'd prefer to build something myself rather than paying for a prefab mounting machine. And I don't have access to a good sky hook!
Any suggestions?
